- Sure. The RealTech Laser is a DataProducts i960-based printer.
- Rated at 9 pages per-minute, PS Level 2, price is around $1800
- or so. I have it hooked up to a Mac (AppleTalk), Sun (Serial)
- and PC (Parallel) all at the same time - works fine.

- Note. Buy extra memory. I think it comes with 2, but you'll
- want 4. I have 6 in mine.
